Step #13 - Eco-challenge yourself

In a previous post I said, the change is within each of us. So today’s post is about eco-challenging yourself. A couple of friends share the chart below with me, which I found really interesting for a few reasons. One, it’s very simple and have easy actions that everyone can take. And second, it has some results that you can achieve by following them. So I am sharing this today. Commit to these eco-challenges and  try to get someone else on board.

Translation after the chart. I don't know the source of the chart, so if anyone know where it comes from please comment so I can give the appropriate credit.

5. Bring your own water bottle
6. Turn off your computer and house lights
7. Disconnect the appliances that you are not using
8. Use reusable grocery bags

10. Inspire someone else

If you follow these challenges you can potentially:

Are you up for the challenge?
